HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The export of metallic mercury (Hg, CAS No 7439-97-6), cinnabar ore and mercury compounds with a mercury concentration above 5% weight by weight (w/w)
  from the Community shall be prohibited from
  1 December 2010
  .

The export of mercury-containing products banned from sale or distribution within the European Union shall be prohibited from 1 December 2010.

Article 2

The import into the Community of metallic mercury (Hg, CAS No 7439-97-6), cinnabar ore, and mercury compounds with a mercury concentration above 5% weight by weight (w/w) shall be prohibited from 1 July 2010.

Member States shall meet their own mercury requirements from recovery from wastes and raw products.

Article 3

From 1 December 2010, Member States shall ensure that
  metallic mercury that is no longer used in the chlor-alkali industry
  or is extracted from cinnabar ore
  , mercury
  recovered
  from the cleaning of natural gas and mercury
  recovered
  as a by-product from non-ferrous mining and smelting operations shall be
  transported and
  stored,
  and eventually disposed of within the Community,
  in a way that is safe for human health and the environment
  , in appropriate facilities that qualify for that purpose, accompanied by a safety assessment and the relevant permit, pursuant to this Regulation
  .

Prior to any other alternative, consideration shall be given to the possibility of using Almadén for the safe storage of the existing metallic mercury stocks or metallic mercury sub-produced by industry all over Europe, but not mercury-containing articles that have become waste, thus making use of the infrastructures, local manpower and technological expertise existing there.

Article 4

1.   By way of derogation from point (a) of Article 5(3) of Directive 1999/31/EC metallic mercury that is considered as waste
  shall

| --- | --- |

(c)

an installation permitted under Council Directive 96/61/EC of 24 September 1996 concerning integrated pollution prevention and control (7) (IPPC Directive) for the production of chlorine (section 4.2(a) of Annex I to that Directive) and equipped, as a part of that permitted installation, for the temporary storage of metallic mercury pending its safe final disposal.

In the case referred to in point (b) of the first subparagraph the criteria set out in section 2.4 of the Annex to Decision 2003/33/EC shall not apply.

2.   By way of derogation from point (a) of Article 11(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council
  of 14 June 2006 on shipments of waste

   (8)

  ,
  the competent authorities for destination and dispatch may not raise objections to shipments of metallic mercury that is considered as waste
  and that is destined for temporary storage
  based on grounds that the planned
  shipment would
  not be in accordance with measures taken to implement the principles of proximity, priority for recovery and self-sufficiency.

Article 5

1.   The safety assessment to be carried out in accordance with Decision 2003/33/EC for storage in an underground salt mine adapted for waste storage shall cover in particular the additional risks arising from the nature and long-term behaviour of the metallic mercury and its containment.

2.   A safety assessment ensuring a level of environmental protection equivalent to the level ensured by Decision 2003/33/EC shall be carried out and submitted to the competent authority for the temporary storage in a facility exclusively dedicated to and equipped for the storage of metallic mercury.

3.   The permit referred to in Articles 8 and 9 of Directive 1999/31/EC for the underground salt mine or the facility exclusively dedicated to and equipped for the temporary storage of metallic mercury shall include requirements for regular visual inspections of the containers and the installation of appropriate vapour detection equipment to detect any leak.

Article 6

The Commission shall undertake a revision of the safety assessment referred to in Decision 2003/33/EC to ensure that the particular risks of temporary storage of metallic mercury arising from the nature and long-term behaviour of the metallic mercury and its containment are covered. This revision shall be completed by 1 June 2010.

Article 7

During temporary storage, responsibility for safe storage shall lie with the owner of the storage facility. Member States shall set up a fund to ensure that financial resources are in place for the temporary storage and for the safe final disposal of mercury. The fund shall be created on the basis of fees from the chlor-alkali industry and from industry sectors that gain mercury in their production processes, such as, but not exclusively, the natural gas and non-ferrous industry, proportional to the amount of mercury sent for temporary storage.

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 20 June 2007 with a view to the adoption of Directive 2007/.../EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on improving the portability of supplementary pension rights

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 94 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Following consultation of the Committee of the Regions,

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),

Whereas:

| (1) | The free movement of persons is one of the fundamental freedoms of the Community; in Article 42, the Treaty stipulates that, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251, such measures in the field of social security shall be adopted as are necessary to provide freedom of movement for workers. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

The free movement of persons is one of the fundamental freedoms of the Community; in Article 42, the Treaty stipulates that, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251, such measures in the field of social security shall be adopted as are necessary to provide freedom of movement for workers.

| (2) | The social protection of workers with regard to pensions is guaranteed by statutory social security schemes, together with supplementary social security schemes linked to the employment contract, which are becoming increasingly common in the Member States. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

The social protection of workers with regard to pensions is guaranteed by statutory social security schemes, together with supplementary social security schemes linked to the employment contract, which are becoming increasingly common in the Member States.

| (3) | The legislator has wide powers of discretion regarding the choice of measures which are the most appropriate when it comes to achieving the objective of Article 42 of the Treaty; the system of coordination provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 of 14 June 1971 on the application of social security schemes to employed persons, to self-employed persons and to members of their families moving within the Community (3) and Council Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 (4) of 21 March 1972laying down the procedure for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 and, in particular, the rules applicable to aggregation do not relate to supplementary pension schemes, except for schemes covered by the term ‘legislation’, as defined in the first paragraph of Article 1(j) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, or which have been the subject of a declaration by a Member State pursuant to that provision. Supplementary pension schemes should therefore be the subject of specific measures in order to take account of their nature and specific characteristics and of the diverse nature of these schemes within the Member States and from one Member State to another, and in particular the role played by the social partners in their implementation. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

The legislator has wide powers of discretion regarding the choice of measures which are the most appropriate when it comes to achieving the objective of Article 42 of the Treaty; the system of coordination provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 of 14 June 1971 on the application of social security schemes to employed persons, to self-employed persons and to members of their families moving within the Community (3) and Council Regulation (EEC) No 574/72 (4) of 21 March 1972laying down the procedure for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 and, in particular, the rules applicable to aggregation do not relate to supplementary pension schemes, except for schemes covered by the term ‘legislation’, as defined in the first paragraph of Article 1(j) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71, or which have been the subject of a declaration by a Member State pursuant to that provision. Supplementary pension schemes should therefore be the subject of specific measures in order to take account of their nature and specific characteristics and of the diverse nature of these schemes within the Member States and from one Member State to another, and in particular the role played by the social partners in their implementation.

| (4) | Council Directive 98/49/EC of 29 June 1998 on safeguarding the supplementary pension rights of employed and self-employed persons moving within the Community (5) represents an initial specific measure designed to improve the exercise of the right of employed and self-employed persons to freedom of movement as regards supplementary pension schemes. |

Council Directive 98/49/EC of 29 June 1998 on safeguarding the supplementary pension rights of employed and self-employed persons moving within the Community (5) represents an initial specific measure designed to improve the exercise of the right of employed and self-employed persons to freedom of movement as regards supplementary pension schemes.

| (5) | Recourse should also be had to Article 94 of the Treaty, given that the disparities between the national legislation governing supplementary pension schemes are likely to hamper both the exercise of the right of workers to freedom of movement and the operation of the internal market. Thus, in order to improve
  the rights
  of workers moving within the Community and within the same Member State,
  provision should be made for
  certain
  minimum requirements for the establishment and preservation of the vested
  pension rights
  of outgoing workers in a supplementary pension scheme linked to an employment relationship
  . |

  .

| (6) | Moreover, account should be taken of the characteristics and special nature of supplementary pension schemes and the way they differ within and among the Member States. The introduction of new schemes, the sustainability of existing schemes and the expectations and rights of current pension scheme members should be adequately protected. This Directive should also take particular account of the role of the social partners in designing and implementing supplementary pension schemes. |

| --- | --- |

(7)

This Directive should not require Member States that have no supplementary pension schemes to adopt legislation to introduce such schemes.

| (8) | This Directive should apply only to supplementary pensions which, according to the rules of the relevant pension scheme or national law, are based on reaching retirement age or fulfilling other conditions. It should apply neither to individual pension arrangements with no employer participation nor to invalidity or survivors' pensions. |

(8)

This Directive should apply only to supplementary pensions which, according to the rules of the relevant pension scheme or national law, are based on reaching retirement age or fulfilling other conditions. It should apply neither to individual pension arrangements with no employer participation nor to invalidity or survivors' pensions.

| (9) | This Directive should apply to all supplementary pension schemes established in conformity with national legislation and practice that offer supplementary pensions for workers, such as group insurance contracts, pay-as-you-go schemes agreed by one or more branches or sectors, funded schemes or pension promises backed by book reserves, or any collective or other comparable arrangement. |

(9)

This Directive should apply to all supplementary pension schemes established in conformity with national legislation and practice that offer supplementary pensions for workers, such as group insurance contracts, pay-as-you-go schemes agreed by one or more branches or sectors, funded schemes or pension promises backed by book reserves, or any collective or other comparable arrangement.

| (10) | This Directive should not apply to supplementary pension schemes that have been closed to the effect that no new members can be accepted, because the introduction of new rules could place an unjustifiable burden on such schemes. |
| --- | --- |

(10)

This Directive should not apply to supplementary pension schemes that have been closed to the effect that no new members can be accepted, because the introduction of new rules could place an unjustifiable burden on such schemes.

| (11) | This Directive does not aim to harmonise or affect national law on reorganisation measures and winding-up proceedings; for these purposes it is irrelevant whether any such proceedings are opened because of insolvency, or whether they are entered into voluntarily or compulsorily. Similarly, this Directive does not affect national legislation on reorganisation measures under Directive 2001/17/EC (6). Measures taken under Article 16(2) of Directive 2003/41/EC (7) do not constitute reorganisation measures for these purposes. |

Measures taken under Article 16(2) of Directive 2003/41/EC (7) do not constitute reorganisation measures for these purposes.

| (12) | This Directive should not affect any arrangements for insolvency protection or compensation arrangements which are not part of a supplementary pension scheme linked to an employment relationship and which aim to protect the pension rights of workers in the event of insolvency of the undertaking or the pension scheme. Similarly, this Directive should not affect national pension reserve funds. |

(12)

This Directive should not affect any arrangements for insolvency protection or compensation arrangements which are not part of a supplementary pension scheme linked to an employment relationship and which aim to protect the pension rights of workers in the event of insolvency of the undertaking or the pension scheme. Similarly, this Directive should not affect national pension reserve funds.

| (13) | Since supplementary retirement provision is becoming increasingly important in all the Member States for securing people's standard of living in old age, the conditions for acquiring, maintaining and transferring vested pension rights should be improved. |

(13)

Since supplementary retirement provision is becoming increasingly important in all the Member States for securing people's standard of living in old age, the conditions for acquiring, maintaining and transferring vested pension rights should be improved.

| (14) | If the pension scheme or employer bears the investment risk (particularly for defined-benefit schemes), the scheme should refund the contributions of the outgoing worker, regardless of the current investment value of the contributions. If the outgoing worker bears the investment risk (particularly for defined-contribution schemes), the pension scheme should refund the investment value produced from these contributions. The investment value may be higher or lower than the sum of the contributions paid by the outgoing worker. If the investment value is negative, the amount should not be repaid. |

Outgoing workers should have the right to leave their vested pension rights as dormant rights in the supplementary pension scheme in which their entitlement was established.

| (16) | In conformity with national legislation and practice,
  steps
  should be
  taken to
  ensure fair treatment of the value
  of dormant rights.
  The value of the rights when the employee leaves the pension scheme can be calculated according to generally recognised actuarial principles. In calculating the value, account should be taken of the particularities of the scheme, the interests of the outgoing worker, and those of the members remaining in the
  pension scheme. |

| (17) | If the value of the vested pension rights of an outgoing worker does not exceed a threshold amount established by the Member State, and in order to avoid excessive costs arising
  from the management of a large number of low-value dormant rights, pension schemes must be given the option not to preserve
  those vested pension rights, but to pay
  a capital sum
  in proportion to the vested rights. The amount of the capital payment should always be determined by recognised actuarial principles and reflect the current value of the vested pension rights at the time of the payment

In view of the diverse nature of supplementary social security schemes, the Community must confine itself to establishing the objectives to be achieved in general terms, which means that a directive is the appropriate legal instrument.

| (21) | Since the objective of this Directive, namely to reduce the obstacles to the exercise of the right of workers to freedom of movement on the one hand and to the operation of the internal market on the other, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of the scope of the measures, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive, based on an impact assessment conducted with the help of the committee in the area of supplementary pensions, does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective. |
